Bold Record³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 119

20/1

Scored on his second career start at Uttoxeter (2m4f) in a maiden hurdle. Has been unable to follow that up in three attempts since. His last appearance came at Worcester (2m4f) where he was pulled up after the fifth hurdle. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 3136P

Vlannon^v²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: M Goldstein| T: M Madgwick| OR: 118| C

50/1

His sole success came at this course over 2m in a five runner field back in January. Has appeared on the AW at this track on the Flat in his last two starts. Should be fit but others make more of an appeal.

Form: 24P414-

Espalion³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Rex Dingle⁽³⁾| T: J Scott| OR: 117

14/1

Prevailed in back-to-back races at Chepstow earlier this year. It looked like the handicapper had caught up with him last time at Exeter (2m7f). Remains off the same mark so he does need to produce more.

Form: 60P11-8

Pontresina⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: L P Aspell| T: O Sherwood| OR: 116

9/1

A point-to-point winner who is 0-7 under Rules. He has finished second on his last three starts, including last time at Hereford (3m1½f) in a seven runner contest. Has gone up just 1lb. One for the shortlist.

Form: P3/322-2

Ramore Will^h¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR: 116| C| D

33/1

Was a winner at Plumpton (2m4½f) three outings back. Has been well held on his two appearances since then, including last time at Fontwell (2m3f). Stepping up in trip here. Others standout more.

Form: 1/55-127

Sandy Boy^b1²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 115| BF| D

9/2

Recorded back-to-back wins earlier this year. Was fancied to do well last time at Exeter (2m7f) but had to settle for fourth of 14 after going off as the 6/4 favourite. Blinkers are on for the first time. One to consider.

Form: 2-31124

Max Forte^p³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: James Davies| T: C J Down| OR: 115

25/1

Has some consistent form over hurdles and fences this year without success. He had just one horse behind him last time in a 13 runner contest at Exeter (2m7f). Will need to produce more to get his first win of 2019.

Form: 682-230

Muthabir¹⁹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Daniel Hiskett⁽³⁾| T: R T Phillips| OR: 115| CD

33/1

Won this race in 2017. His latest success came at Ludlow (3m) back in January. Has been disappointing in four races since then, including last time at Stratford (3m2½f) when he was came home at the rear of nine runners. Others are preferred.

Form: 41456-9

Fontley House³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: J J Burke| T: T R George| OR: 115

12/1

Remains a maiden after eight starts. He came close to success last time at Southwell (3m) though as he was second of 12 runners after going off at 16/1. Has gone up just 3lb. Has each-way claims here.

Form: P3-2492

Forgetthesmalltalk⁵⁸⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Max Browne⁽⁷⁾| T: A King| OR: 114| D

16/1

A point-to-point winner who is 0-7 under Rules. He has not seen a track since finishing 12th of 18 at Ayr (3m½f) in April 2018. Has been eased 5lb by the handicapper. Best to watch on his return to action.

Form: 243220/

Saturdaynightfever²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: W T Kennedy| T: Ian Williams| OR: 110

16/1

Still looking for his first success after eight appearances. He was eighth of 17 on his opening run for his new yard at Wincanton (2m5½f). Has gone down 3lb in the weights. Others make more of an appeal in this race.

Form: 7/3F76-8

I'd Better Go Now^t²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton| OR: 109

11/4

Broke his maiden at the fifth attempt last time when he prevailed in a 17 runner field at Wincanton (2m5½f) in what was his opening run back since having wind surgery. Has gone up 7lb in the weights. Big player.

Form: 5/557-1

Montys Angel³¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: J E Moore| T: J J Bridger| OR: 108

66/1

Prevailed for the first time at Market Rasen (2m4½f) earlier this year. Has been well held on his four appearance since switching yards in September. Down 3lb in the weights but she will need to improve.

Form: 343-1R4

Cracker Jak³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Aidan Coleman| T: Miss S Smith| OR: 108| D

7/2

Recorded back-to-back wins earlier year where he scored at Newbury (3m) and Exeter (2m5½f) respectively. Finished fourth of 13 at Exeter (2m7½f) last time out. Down 1lb. Worth consideration.

Form: 3211-54

Forecasts

I'd Better Go Now (11/4), Cracker Jak (7/2), Sandy Boy (9/2), Pontresina (9/1), Fontley House (12/1), Espalion (14/1), Forgetthesmalltalk (16/1), Saturdaynightfever (16/1), Bold Record (20/1), Max Forte (25/1), Muthabir (33/1), Ramore Will (33/1), Vlannon (50/1), Montys Angel (66/1)

I'D BETTER GO NOW was staying on really strongly last time in his success at Wincanton so this step up in trip is likely to suit him so take the gelding to add to his recent victory here off this 7lb higher mark. Sandy Boy has been running consistently well all year and is unlikely to be far away on his return to this trip, while Pontresina has been going close to success recently but may have to settle for finishing in the frame again.
